Tonight an illusion will make it appear as if the planets Jupiter and Venus have merged in the Western horizon, giving off the appearance of a superstar. The sight will be visible in North America in that direction just after sunset.
Every night this month, the two planets have appeared to get closer to one another. Tonight they will be just a third of a degree apart and appear to merge into one big bright shining object in the sky. Jupiter will appear Jupiter would appear circular, and Venus will form a crescent around it.
Some have claimed tonights rare planetary alignment was once responsible for the so-called Star of Bethlehem.
Sky & Telescope suggests that a similar rare conjunction of Venus and Jupiter may have been whats been called the Star of Bethlehem in 3-2 BC. There has not been a brighter, closer planetary conjunction in the 2,000 years since, Christian Science Monitor reports.

Darn, I missed it, but I did see the sun as it was going down - it was unusual!
I am surrounded by trees, nice for privacy as I live in the midst of a developed community, but not so great for those morning and evening views. If there is something special to see, I have to hop in the car and drive to an open field.
Appreciated this, thank you :thumbup:
